Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 283: IUD-CHAPTER 283 WATER FACTION

When Fang Li returned to Jie Long Seventh Institute and entered the Yellow Dragon Temple, the first person he saw was Zhao Hufeng standing at the entrance of the Stars Room with an awkward expression on his face.

“Senior Brother Zhao…”

“What can I do for you?” Zhao Hufeng replied.

“I just wanted to ask, did you happen to see Miss Sylvia before?”

“No.”

“Then, do you have anything you’d like to say to me?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Very well.”

And that’s how the matter was dropped.

Of course, Fang Li didn’t tell Zhao Hufeng that his actions had led to him getting lost and, in turn, an unexpected encounter.

An encounter that Zhao Hufeng would surely envy.

If Zhao Hufeng understood the situation, he would probably regret it deeply, wouldn’t he?

Just as Fang Li was thinking this, Zhao Hufeng cleared his throat and adopted a serious expression.

He said, “Junior Brother Fang, now that you’re back, let’s go see Master.”

“Go see Master?” Fang Li was somewhat surprised.

“At this hour?”

It was almost midnight now.

Based on Fan Xinglou’s usual habits, he should have been resting by now.

“Unfortunately, Master has always been unpredictable and whimsical, very self-indulgent. This time, she probably had a sudden idea and wanted to summon us,” Zhao Hufeng said, appearing somewhat troubled.

“Anyway, Master is waiting for us in the audience room. Apart from us, there are a few other apprentice brothers. It’s a good opportunity for you to meet them.”

“Other apprentice brothers?” Fang Li was beginning to get curious.

Since enrolling at Jie Long Seventh Institute, Fang Li had passed Fan Xinglou’s test and become her disciple.

He had been living in the Yellow Dragon Temple, practicing, and had only met Zhao Hufeng so far.

He hadn’t yet encountered Fan Xinglou’s other disciples.

However, Fang Li was familiar with some of Fan Xinglou’s other disciples, especially Wu Xiaofei.

In the past month, Fang Li had heard about him several times from Fan Xinglou and Zhao Hufeng.

He knew that this First Senior Brother possessed extraordinary strength, to the point where even Zhao Hufeng had to acknowledge it.

“But First Senior Brother probably won’t be there,” Zhao Hufeng seemed to have read Fang Li’s thoughts and said, “First Senior Brother usually practices deep within the Yellow Dragon Temple and won’t appear without Master’s orders. He most likely won’t be there this time.”

“Is that so?” Fang Li nodded and said, “In that case, let’s go.”

“Alright,” Zhao Hufeng nodded as well.

…

About five minutes later, Fang Li and Zhao Hufeng arrived in the audience room.

There, Fan Xinglou was seated in a wide chair, watching Fang Li and Zhao Hufeng enter.

She greeted them with enthusiasm.

“Oh, you two finally made it. I’ve been waiting for you.”

It was clear that Fan Xinglou was in a very good mood.

And when Fan Xinglou displayed such behavior, it meant one thing.

Something had piqued Fan Xinglou’s interest, and an announcement was imminent.

Zhao Hufeng seemed to sigh at this, and Fang Li couldn’t help but be curious but his attention was drawn to the other people in the room.

In the entire audience room, apart from Fan Xinglou, there were three other individuals present.

Fang Li was first drawn to a particular female among the group.

She had long, chestnut-brown wavy hair, well-defined features with a slightly deeper contour, and her appearance was striking.

She seemed to have European bloodlines, a rarity among the predominantly Asian students at Jie Long Seventh Institute.

Her outfit, though, was the unmistakable Jie Long Seventh Institute uniform, and it was quite revealing.

Her exquisite figure and fair skin were undeniably attractive, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

However, there was a hint of laziness in her expression, as if she couldn’t be bothered by much.

Looking at this casually lounging young woman, Fang Li whispered softly, “Cecily Wang…”

————Cecily Wang.

Ranked fourth in Jie Long Seventh Institute’s Ranking, she was Fan Xinglou’s second disciple and the Senior Sister just below Wu Xiaofei.

She was also the leader of the Water Faction Daoshi, known as the “Raigeki Senka” due to her proficiency in the Lightning System of Seisenjutsu.

Despite her charming appearance, her personality was said to be consistently laid-back, disliking trouble and even neglecting her room until it was an absolute mess, only tidying up when it reached an unbearable state.

Even then, she would often ask Zhao Hufeng to do it, much to his annoyance.

But undoubtedly, among Fan Xinglou’s disciples, except for Wu Xiaofei, this casually lounging young woman before Fang Li was the highest-ranking and most powerful person.

So, Fang Li was acquainted with Cecily.

Apart from Cecily, there was a male-female pair in the room.

They were almost identical in terms of appearance, height, and demeanor.

Fang Li also knew this pair.

The male was named Li Shenyun.

The female was named Li Shenhua.

As their names suggested, they were a pair of twins.

In Jie Long Seventh Institute, this twin duo held the ninth and tenth positions, both well-known members of Page One.

They were also members of the Water Faction Daoshi, skilled in the Illusion System of Seisenjutsu.

However, looking at this twin duo, Zhao Hufeng displayed open disgust.

“…What are you doing here?” Zhao Hufeng furrowed his brows as he spoke, and the Li siblings immediately wore identical smiles on their faces, mirroring each other perfectly.

In that smile, there was no trace of Cecily’s laziness or Zhao Hufeng’s seriousness.

Instead, it was a condescending and arrogant expression that bordered on repulsiveness.

“Please, don’t say that Senior Brother Zhao,” Li Shenyun shrugged and said, “We were summoned by Master as well.”

“We thought it was only us of the Water Faction who were summoned,” Li Shenhua also shrugged, saying, “If we had known that the Wood Faction would also be here, we might have taken this more seriously.”

“You…” Zhao Hufeng was immediately provoked.

Fang Li knew that the relationship between the Wood Faction and Water Faction was never quite harmonious, so this behavior wasn’t surprising.

However, Zhao Hufeng was not only the leader of the Wood Faction but also their Senior Brother.

The Li siblings’ outward show of respect concealed their insincerity, making it quite apparent.

Unfortunately, the twin duo’s attention quickly shifted to Fang Li.

“Oh, could it be…”

“Is this the rumored Little Junior Brother?”

The Li siblings’ faces displayed an unfriendly smile as they spoke.

A smile that was anything but welcoming.
